Imaginary Convo With About a Fourth of the French Male Population

Dude, can we talk about man purses?
Have a seat. I'm not attacking you, personally. I'm sure you're a very nice guy. And look! Your bag is camo printed! So I bet you're wild and crazy, too. Here's the thing.

YOU'RE WEARING A PURSE. It's not a backpack-- it goes over one shoulder. It's not a computer bag or briefcase-- it's only large enough for a wallet and your phone. Just because it's made by Nike doesn't mean it's sporty or cool. Hey hey, don't take it off. Look, I'm sorry, okay? Just a side note: when you hold it in your hands like that, it doesn't become any less purse-like. In fact, now your purse has turned into a stylish clutch.

I realize guys have stuff to carry with them, too. But unless that bag grows another shoulder strap or doubles in size, it looks like something any woman would throw her lipstick in. Unless you're into that sort of thing. I don't really care if you are knowingly wearing a purse. Just don't pretend it's a tough man bag, okay? Alright. Have a nice night.
